I'm using custom error handling:

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Error/Error">
            <error statusCode="400" redirect="Error/Error" />
            <error statusCode="404" redirect="Error/NotFound" />
        </customErrors>

In controller actions:

public class ErrorController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Error()
        {           
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult NotFound()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }

It's returning the view with 200 http header. I want response code with 404 or 500.

Just add following line before return view():

 Response.StatusCode = 404;
 Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;

public class ErrorController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Error()
        {        
            Response.StatusCode = 404;
            Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;   
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult NotFound()
        {
            Response.StatusCode = 404;
            Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
            return View();
        }
    }

if (something == null)
{         
   return new HttpNotFoundResult(); // 404
}
elese if (something == "error")
{         
   return new HHttpStatusCodeResult(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError); // 500
}
else
{
   return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.OK); // 200
}
